Gary : You are far too polite .
Perhaps on his next trip to find a `Thia Bride`, he`ll pop into a local take away for some `Bloefish and Chips`.
He better hope that the chef knows what he`s doing , it's a fish packed full of lethal toxins called tetrodotoxin. You can eat it when the toxins are removed , but only the most skilled chefs are capable of making sure all have been removed.
Tetrodoxin is a tasteless, odorless, and colorless neurotoxin that won’t decompose even when heated up to 300 degrees. `Bloefish` skin, ovaries/gonads, and liver contains enough poison to kill 30 people !
There is no cure for tetrodotoxin intoxication: if you ingest it , you’re pretty much doomed because there’s no known antidote. It can’t be treated with blood serum as you would with a snake bite. There are cases of people living for six hours following a lethal dose, but that's it .
We can but hope there is a trainee Fryer at the `Chippy` !
